He said that Himachal Pradesh had been adjudged as the best Big State in the field on education and inclusive development.

However, he expressed dissatisfaction that not even once the sitting MLA gave list of priorities for this assembly segment.

The Chief Minister said that it was his experience that conspiracy never pays in politics and the one who works sincerely will get the reward. Citing example of Dadour college, he said that whenever we tried to do anything for Dehra the opposition leaders knocked at the door of the courts to oppose the same. He said the sitting MLA from Dehra instead of criticising should work for the development of the area.

Brigadier Rajinder Rana, who fought elections on Congress ticket from Dehra lamented that few people were spreading rumours that the tour of Chief Minister had been cancelled. Not only those in BJP, but those few within the party fold were also involved in spreading such rumours keeping people guessing about the tour. He also placed few demands of the area before the Chief Minister.
